A leaner, meaner Monkey Man. We’ve retained all of the Monkey Man’s legendary comfort and thermal efficiency while dialing down the loft for easier layering, less weight and a more streamlined look. Strategically zoned fabric maximizes stretch and breathability where you need it most.

Experience:
The Patagonia monkey man fleece is something that is truly a classic piece. I see it warm all the time and it is super comfortable, and warm and stylish. There is no reason not to get this piece and as someone else in the review comments said, I truly agree it will not place your wallet.

Experience:
I have two Monkey Man Fleece jackets, and love them both. They work really well as a pull over for a cold day. NOT WINDPROOF. The wind whips right through so thats why it only qualifies as a fleece mid-layer. Cozy as can be for wearing around town or using as a pullover for backpacking. I would try one on before you buy because the length is the only minor issue as sizing goes. Im a 6ft 2in male thats rather lean, and it fits really well as to the more active style. The sleeves are longer than you might expect, but thats the best selling point on the fit of this fleece. covers your wrists and doesn't pull up when you reach for stuff. The overall length is a tad shorter than i would like. The benefits, however, are more than make up for this minor shortcoming.
